“…During this time, the national evaluators conducted two studies that produced critically important documents that focused attention on the variety of concerns about restitution and about the program models that were available. The first project was a survey of all juvenile courts in the United States to determine who used restitution or community service, what their experiences were if they did, and, if not, the reasons for not availing themselves of this option (P. R. Schneider, Schneider, Reiter, & Cleary, 1977). The study showed that about 85% of juvenile courts sometimes ordered restitution, but only 15 formal restitution programs were found (A. L.

This study compares two federal grants, both from the same agency and both utilizing a national “boundary organization,” to assess how and why one was better able than the other to integrate divergent perspectives and produce new approaches to juvenile justice in multiple local jurisdictions. Results confirm the utility of boundary organizations but also show that not all organizations that bring together divergent perspectives necessarily result in anything new or better. Four factors stand out: (a) a different philosophy of evaluation research, (b) the grass-roots emergence of an inclusive rationale for the program that was orthogonal to the traditional “treatment versus punishment” ideology, (c) management strategies and agenda-setting arrangements at meetings that facilitated horizontal, upward, and downward information exchange, and (d) a different approach to knowledge and knowledge production that emphasized user-defined knowledge needs and diverse research methods. The case studies provide a wide range of insights for collaborative management practices, research—practitioner relationships, and implementation success.
